Shoe Aid

The Shoe Aid Project is a shoe donation project which aims to motivate those who are fortunate enough to have pairs of shoes which they no longer need into donating them to people in Africa. Please take this opportunity to donate shoes in order to make other people enjoy sports, walks, work, studies and dancing; give those less fortunate people the chance to enjoy and take for granted all the things we enjoy and take for granted each and every day.

All yours donations are highly welcome and will be greatly appreciated! Please place paired shoes into the donation box in the school hall. Thank you

Horrible Histories...

On Thursday 24th September Year 5/6 went to Nottingham Theatre Royal to watch Horrible Histories Woeful Second World War.

Woeful Second World War was about Alf and Sally who get evacuated to darkest Wales, away from the damp shelters and nightly bombings of their home city – only to encounter rotten rations, scary schools and even scarier new parents. In the second half of the show, children wore 3D specs to see the amazing Bogglevision effects, preparing for the final onslaught as the German bombers make their deadly journey towards Coventry!

It was a fantastic trip thoroughly enjoyed by all!
